Finally downloaded pictures from my kids’ and wife’s phones from our NYC trip. This’ll be a picture-heavy post, with comments along the way. Enjoy!
Beautiful sunrise to start the dayMagdalena appreciating the weather at the startRounding the southern tip of ManhattanStrangest buildingNice view of the southern skylineNot sure which bridge I’m going under here. Brooklyn?Ditto. Bridge #3?More in our series of “strangest building”I passed the United Nations at some point…blissfully ignorantThe point of my restart, Wards Island footbridge (#5)Entering the HudsonPassing under the last bridge. Only 11 miles to go!Passing the High LineThis is the cove the NYPD made us wait in while the cruise ship was pulling outScofflaw!U.S.S. IntrepidPort view of the Intrepid. Is the Nicholas Cage up there?!Another strange building candidate on the rightI thought I’d never get to the One World Trade Center
Of course, marathon swimming is a team sport. I couldn’t have done it without my crew.
Agnes, the best kayaker a swimmer could ask for. Whatcha doing in two years?
And my kids, the best crew a dad could ask for.
Sam and MaggieCrew’s gotta eat, am I right?!…and sleep
The family and I did more than this swim during our NYC trip. Can’t visit Manhattan without seeing some stuff!
We met the Dalai LamaAnd Lady LibertyWe had great Chinese foodAnd good local beer!We rearranged some sculptureCaught some great views
And of course, you can’t have a trip with IronMike without jumpography. Lots and lots of jumping!
Sadly, I have no pictures of the boat pilot, Paul, or of my observer, Hsi-Ling. Will have to remedy that the next time!

Great kayaker, great crew, great swimmer and great family! Captain Paul escorted me yesterday and said he really enjoyed meeting you! He is a true swimmer’s pilot so am sure he’d be up for it if you want to come back in 2019!

Sorry I missed your comment Jaimie. It went into my spam folder for some reason.
I would love to have Paul as my escort again. So want to redo this swim. 😉
Great pics!
